Baldev Billawaria stressed that the Samrasta Sankalp Abhiyan must extend beyond a commemorative programme and emerge as a meaningful public outreach initiative inspired by Guru Ravidas Ji’s timeless message of equality, human dignity and a society free from discrimination. He urged the workers to ensure active participation at every level, strengthen grassroots engagement and spread awareness about government welfare schemes so that their benefits reach the most deserving sections. He added that the Yatra would begin from Jalandhar on November 18 and proceed towards Guru Ravidas Ji’s birthplace at Seer Govardhanpur, Kashi.

Bharat Bhushan emphasized the need to strengthen the Morcha organization across all mandals and maintain continuous contact with community members. He said the success of the Yatra would depend on teamwork, effective coordination and the ability of workers to connect Guru Ravidas Ji’s teachings with the everyday concerns and aspirations of society.

Dharminder Kumar said the SC Morcha was committed to ensuring the successful organization of the programme through coordinated efforts and disciplined participation. He directed office bearers to assign responsibilities at district and mandal levels, mobilize people from villages and marginalized localities, and make the Yatra a collective expression of social unity and brotherhood. The proceedings were conducted by Rahul Hans.
